I have two females and 1 male. Do I need to separate the females or
can 1 male be ok with more than 1 female?

Thanks

No, we don't know what country you are in, but I'm fairly well traveled
and everywhere I've gone there are feral cat problems and full shelters.
* I know you mean well and all, but please do some research before you
consider breeding your cats:

1. *Is there a market for your breed?
2. *Are all your cats exemplary examples of the breed?
3. *Do you know what the genetic health issues of your breed are?
4. *Have you had your cats tested to ensure they don't have any of these
issues?

These are all important questions, if you cannot answer them like this:

1. *Yes, the other breeders in the area can't keep up with demand.
2. *Yes, they're show quality and have good pedigrees
3. *Yes
4. *Nope, and they've been tested and will not pass on genetic issues to
their kittens.

Then please don't breed.

I'm pretty sure there's more but I'm not a breeder. *My cats always have
been and always will be spayed.

I'm with everyone else that you shouldn't breed at all even if you have
the right answers, but I know you probably will anyway, so am asking
that you do your research properly so if you continue, the resultant
kittens have the best chance of a good home and a long, healthy life.

I already have bred but the cats were not pure - the queen escaped!
In any case I had no problem getting rid of the kittens. One lady said
the cat shelter was empty of cats
and that's why she came to me. In my country cats are very popular. My
cats have all came from good breeders.
